Friday Favorites: Five of My Favorite South Beach Diet Phase One Breakfasts

These Egg "Muffins" are one of my very favorite Phase One breakfasts.

I can tell by how the number of people looking at the Index of South Beach Diet Phase One Recipes that a lot of you out there are doing Phase One right now. I'm posting only Phase One recipes during January, just like I've done for the last five years, and I thought I'd spotlight some of my favorite Phase One Recipes during the month too. First up, I'm sharing five of my favorite Phase One breakfasts. My breakfast habits have changed a bit since I've been working at home, but pictured above are the Egg Muffins that were my favorite "grab and go" breakfast to eat in the car on the way to work when I was still teaching school. There are endless varieties of this recipe, and they're all good!

Frittatas are a type of Italian egg dish that's basically an omelet that's not folded over. When I'm doing Phase One I love to make this on the weekend and eat it for several days. Pictured above is Asparagus and Fresh Mozzarella Frittata with Parmesan and Chives, definitely one of my favorites. If asparagus isn't in the budget when it's out of season, use some other vegetable.

Finally, one more variation of breakfast casserole that I just adore is this Breakfast Casserole with Spinach, Leeks, Cottage Cheese, and Goat Cheese. Having an amazing breakfast like this to start the morning really gets a phase one day off to a good start.

Of course, there are a lot of simpler things you can eat for breakfast on Phase One. Check the South Beach Diet Phase One Breakfast Recipes for more ideas. And if you have a great idea for a Phase One breakfast, let us know about it in the comments!

I have made your Tuscan Baked Eggs several times and wanted to let you know my husband & I absolutely love this dish! Thanks for all your wonderful meal solutions for SBD. I eat something from your blog every single day. I'm down 12 lbs since Nov 18th (I took a week off for Christmas/New Years;) I'm really just excited about eating healthier and doing more creative cooking and hoping to lose about 10 more pounds without feeling like I'm on a diet.

I did want to point out that the link to the Tuscan Baked Eggs is not in your post, and I thought you'd like to know. Thanks again!

Kalyn, I am new with the SBD; heard of it for years, tried a few times~~but now I'm serious!Researching online, getting the facts, finding recipes (even though I don't cook~~much! Only me at home.) So I am soooooo excited to find your website~~this is doable for me & can't wait to start~~I will keep you posted on my progress~~SBD here I come!Thanks, KalynAnita

Mel, the restriction on cheese is for the saturated fat, but I think you could use small amount of regular cheese once in a while and it would not be a big deal. (Just be disciplined about using a small amount.) And yes, there are plenty of recipes without cheese; there is a huge archives of recipes in the left sidebar.

I have made these using the metallic cupcake liners, but had mixed results getting them out of the liners, even when I sprayed them with nonstick spray. If you don't want to buy the silicone muffin cups or pan though, it's certainly worth a try.

Thanks for joining the conversation! I love hearing from readers and even though I can't always reply to every comment, I will always answer specific questions on a recipe as soon as possible. Sometimes I'm answering by iPhone, so my replies may be short!

Comments don't appear on the blog until they're approved by me, so no need to try again if you don't see it when you post the comment! Please make your signature a link to your site if you're a blogger, but other links posted within the body of the comment will never be published.

Food Blogger Love!
